A new IPTV channel zapping scheme for EPON

This paper proposes a new IPTV channel zapping scheme in EPON, and defines two user's operation behavior for channel zapping. Based on such user's operation behavior, this paper defines two channel zapping types that are intra- and inter-stream channel zapping. In addition, we propose two analysis models to evaluate channel zapping time for both channel zapping types, respectively. According to simulation results, our proposed scheme can reduce channel zapping time and satisfy quality criteria (500ms). In addition, some further works are described in this work.
